In this chapter we are going learn very most important concept that is App store process. It is nothing but, when we build iOS apps we need to upload that to app store , so that you can get the user experience in your application. It’s help us to improve our design, coding, some time we can start building highfy apps. You know how?.The basic thing is, whenever we upload our app in app store, user can download from app store and they review and share comments in our profile.

Before we ship any app in app store, we need to have apple developer account ( membership), then only we can be able to upload apps in app store.

Build an app archive :

First open your project in Xcode. Before we proceed to app store process, we need to perform follow pre-requisites.

● There should be no error in our project
● There should be app icon, launch screen
● App should be tested in real device.

If you get any error try to debug that and make sure that you have apple developer membership and select your project and under general tab select your code signing as your account name.

If you need to get the membership account to submit your app in app store. You can follow iTune connect or apple developer portal.

Now go to your project and click “Build settings”. Under that select code signing, in that select the option like below image
